I love exploring loTRO too, the Shire is my favourite as always seem to find a new view, Moria has some absolutely spectacular bits, and I want to sue the Rivendell and Caras Galadhon elves fordangerous building construction
My primary school taught longhand, slightly different looking from the one you Yanks use btw, and that was OK and legible. I'd have been 6 or 7 at the time.
Then after a couple of years of that I moved schools where they wanted everying "printed" that is in Block capitals and separate letters, which I had almost forgotten how to do. This actually knackered my handwriting and from that day on it suffered.
Trying to write fast notes in class and particularly in college sealed the death of legibility for me.
The Soviet military had a lot to do with breaking the Nazis in WWII. That Military enjoyed the benefit of Lend lease, particularly in US Trucks.
The US wasn't in Italy by itself, there were two armies, as well as Mark Clark's there was Monty's Eight Army with British, Canadian, Australian and Indian troops.
In the West Operation Overlord was a joint US, British and Canadian venture with other Empire and Occupied Europe troops. The US side of it was not as well prepared as it could have been because they dismissed advice from the British regarding beach clearing techniques (cf Hobart's Funnies for example) and they thought they could get by on one dock.
Just to look at Operation Overlord British, Empire and Allied Occupied Europe troops numbered about 84,000 (or which nearly 62,00 were British). The US First Army had 73,000 men. The Royal Navy and RAF were also kind of involved.
The whole thing was an allied effort. The US couldn't have done it on its own, Britain and the Empire could hold the Nazis off, but couldn't liberate Europe, and without aid may have had to seek peace or starve, the Soviets had the manpower, but lend lease helped them get some breathing space and oncentrate their manufacturing effort, and thus they broke the German Army.
Oddly enough, when Igot this laptop back from the repairs with the new GPU (NVidia 8600M GT) in it, Windows can't handle it and doesn't want to know, so I am having problems on that side, but Ubuntu is just peachy with it
That was kind of Tolkien's idea with the bundle of notes that formed what was published as the Silmarillion, but it wasn't true for Lord of the Rings and by the time the Silmarillion was in a state that Tolkien thought he could refine it into a publishable state the English myth idea had been abandoned.
Now all the mystery of the road signs, American Service personnel, people mentioning it in the media and the submarines sailing up and down the Clyde is solved.
At present my 701 uses eeeXubuntu. Which is fine save for WPA2 which I am having soem problems with, but you should get better quality adive there than from the bearpit that is Slashdot
The current political editor is a former Tory Party Appartatchik
The mail Politics program his hosted by Andrew Neil, former Murdoch editor of the Times in the Thatcher Glory Days (tm) and has Michael Portillo, former Tory Cabinet Minister and the token leftie is someone wwho fell out with the Labour Party a long time ago
THey employ at least two children of former cabinet ministers (Carol Thatcher, though maybe not for much longer, and Maxine Mawhinney)
I'm guessing that the political news in the BBC gets a Tory friendly treatment
Those "Clinton Staffers trashed the White House" were lies then ands are lies now..
The General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative agency, "had found no damage to the offices of the White House's East or West Wings or EOB" and that Bush's own representatives had reported "there is no record of damage that may have been deliberately caused by the employees of the Clinton administration."
Serfs had a plot of land to work for their own and which they could even be taxed on.
However they were forced to work on their lord's land, at numbers of days that usually made it harder to live off their own plot.
And they weren't free to move.
The modern equivalent is peoonage. In theory you are free to move, but you owe your employer so you can't. This can be "training" or "job finding" fees, accomodation expenses etc
I've had two Psion 3as, I still have a Psion 3c, I'd love a Psion 5 series and we still have Horace goes Skiing for the Spectrum
But the Netboook is not the travelling friend you want.
MAYBE a Toshiba Libretto MIGHT just be usable now, put Puppy Linux on it and write your own drivers but I got myself an Asus EEE and I am happy with it.

It was not the US alone however

I have the £5 unlimited web use on my T-Mobile G1, but was explicitly told "No using this connected to your PC/Laptop for Internet access"
They want to sell you a dongle for that I suppose
Yup, my wife and I, living in Glagow, watch it.
Ironically it is on a Fox channel, wish it was on More4 like the Daily Show

I can only assume you are unfamiliar with the Conservative Party.
They brought in a law outlawing anything they saw as "promoting Homosexuality"
And then certain of the MPs in that cabinet were "outed"
It is, as I said, hypocrisy being discussed, not whether or not homosexuality is less equally or more valid a lifestyle than any other
Let's see

Read the guy again
The Conservatives have usually portrayed themselves as the family of family values, Married, 2.4 kids, stable etc
But in real life enough Tory MPs were seen to be living a life other than they preached. One even died during a bout of erotic asphyxiation
So it is Hypocrisy he is against, not same sex relationships
Microsoft feel happy wnough with Windows Vista SP2
So much that they are not bothering with a second Beta
So what you have in your hands now is pretty much how it may ship

Agreed
I was running the KDE desktop on Xandros, Reasonably happy with it, then I decided to upgrade Firefox.
Agh, thumb, borked machine. Possibly actually only a space problem but there I was.
I installed Xubuntu and it is nice as ninepence, only hassle is with WPA2, but I'll get that sorted.

Limit what they can directly access by a limited view that only shows them stuff relevant to them
I have an EEE. Not much I do, apart from games, that I can't do on the EEE. Email and wed, word processing, some programming/web development.
I even get a decent res when the EEE is plugged into a monitor
